Ce que vous allez faire

Soviet Time is one of the most interesting and controversial periods in our history. Nowadays it is hard to imagine how people lived in a country that closed its borders to the rest of the world. During the tour we will tell you the truth about Soviet way of life at that time and its difference from the life we have in Russia today. We will learn what does Seven Sisters mean and where Stalin planned to build the highest building in the world, how many statues of Lenin may be found in Moscow and why there are almost no statues of Stalin. We will go to the place where parents could buy toys even during the massive shortage of consumer goods and we will see a colorful graffiti with famous Soviet ballerina that not even many Moscow residents know about!
In the tour we included Soviet places that are not listed in most of the tour guides. The tour will be highly interesting to both - those who are just briefly familiar with the USSR and those who read and know a lot about Soviet Union!
Meeting point: inside the Central Children's Store (Teatral'nyy Proyezd, 5/1) - in the center of the store in front of a huge mechanical clock
